It is actually really good. It's both the definitive parody of FKMT's own manga and genuine observational comedy.

it's absolutely amazing. I went on a FKMT binge. I read Strongest Legend Kurosawa, Ten (still reading because holy crap that's a lot of mahjong) , and now I'm watching Tonegawa. I have to admit, I found Fukumoto-sensei's art style off putting at first, but he has such a unique voice I've fallen for it. I'm really excited to dive into his other works.

Buraiden Gai is really good and can be read in an evening. It'd make an awesome live action movie

I feel vindicated by it because I always felt somewhat ambivalent about Tonegawa's character. Don't get me wrong, he's a great character but there's this thing...

"Oh Tonegawa is so badass~~ look at him ranting about how millenials are living wrong, ah a such a manly role model!"

And then the Tonegawa anime is about pointing how full of poo poo he is and his ridiculous corporate life. Like getting salty about a coworker's powerpoint, gently caress yeah this is so great :jackbud:

Hey, he's actually able to admit his employee had a better idea than him, give proper credit, and still to sell his value to the president.

In the cutthroat world of middle management, he is, in fact, so badass.

(On a more meta level, I love the stacking nature of the core gag. It's about the boring middle management layer behind high stakes death games... and then it treats the boring middle management layer as THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME OF ALL. You laugh because it treats something so mundane as dangerous, then you laugh as it treats something so dangerous mundanely.)

I was actually starting to be able to tell the Men in Black apart as well. Namely Saemon-Saburo and Yamazaki. But like Tonegawa can't tell a drat thing anymore.

A new publishing company is working on english Kaiji releases. Here's to hoping it sells well enough to get the other Fukumoto series in the future.

The announcement was this weekend, it didn't take place at the main Otakon stage but rather during a fan event called Otabrew (a gathering for otakon attendees to drink and nerd out).

When I had a "job opportunity" turn out to be multi level marketing, I just claimed that I needed to go to the bathroom and ditched.

At last, something in life I can feel I handled more successfully than Tonegawa did. I mean, beyond not having to get hideous burns due to losing an ultra-high-stakes gambling game for the amusement of an insane billionaire.

Two things.

This is from ages ago but why are there other comics on this cover? I always though Akagi was published in a mahjong magazine and not a collection of manga serials
